turleyClaptonSame here I wanted to stand all game but kept getting moaned at to sit down.
Maybe it’s because the kids behind you couldn’t see.
Exactly this .I'm happy to stand all game ( as we do at away games), but it only works if everybody stands .Also there was a family with kids and women behind us who would have just looked at our backs all day .My guess is even if they also stood.
We were stood at kick off looked behind us to see everyone sitting so we used our noggings sat down . There were three people in front of us who obviously weren't going to give a feck whether anybody else could see .They were politely asked to sit which they reluctantly did .
Not sure why having a consideration for the other Blues fans around you, makes you a day tripper.Or people who turn up with the attitude 'i'm standing and don't give a feck whether anybody else can see ' are surprised when asked to sit down .
Sheep2Bowyer didn't score in 2011. He was fouled by Szczesny for the clearest penalty and red card ever.
The assistant ref invented an offside to prevent it.
Stonewaller.
Did the same, would’ve happily stood all match but everyone in front and behind sat down so we did too
The day tripper narrative about the whole weekend is a bit daft, seems to me to be the usual excuse for bad behaviour by suggesting that “they’re not one of us”. Same as when players get racially abused and the guilty fan is “not proper blues”, “not a blues fan” etc.
No doubt a lot of the people who have embarrassed themselves on Sunday were day trippers, but I bet a lot were regulars as well
For home games people have presumably generally got tickets in an area where they know whether it will be standing or tutting.
You wouldn't buy a ticket to the back of the standing area for a 4 and 6 year old.
It's not as easy at other grounds. Especially as large parts of the standing area at Wembley weren't put on open sale by Blues.
There's no excuse for unreasonably standing at the front of a block, but I can understand why people want to stand at a big game
Jeffery McShefferyI'm still miffed the lower two tiers were marked 'sold out' at 10:01 on the morning it opened for ST holders.
Let's not do this again. They sold out quick granted, but this is simply untrue
